Food Scene
The Thai menu is pretty authentic and I'm from Thailand, so you'd trust me on this ;) The location is right in the middle of the RockRose street. Service is amazing. I recommend getting the prawn and glass noodles dish!

There's always a debate whether Tacodeli or Torchy's is a better place to get tacos. I personally have to vote for Tacodeli. The location is also conveniently located near the house. They closes in early afternoon though. So, I'd recommend going their for brunch. It's always on the way from the house heading to downtown Austin, so you'd quickly stop by and grab something.

This is another great place near our house. It's a Korean and Texas fusion. What else could you ask for! Oh yea, it's veggie friendly. Get the Kimchi with fried tofu.

Best Japanese ramen in town? Yes!! This is it. But if you're in a hurry, I would caution against this place, the line is always long.

According to my boyfriend who's from Mexico, this is very authentic. It's a Mexican bakery + taco joints. The sweet breads are huge and maybe a bit over a dollar a piece. I go here pretty often, in fact, I just stopped by here this morning.

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in town. The servers are nice and the food is great. It's in Chinatown, so you could always stop by an Asian super market after.

They have the healthy option of zoodles instead of the typical vermecelli noodles for their grill dish. It's like a Chipotle for Vietnamese grill dishes.

I've got to say that I was very impressed. Their 3 lobster mac & cheese was amazing. It's in the middle of downtown Round Rock. It's a bit pricey though.
